Iodide-induced oscillations in BrO3--tyrosine-H2SO4 system
The KBO3-tyrosine(Tyr)-H2SO4 system gave rise to sustained uncatalyzed oscillations in a suitable concentration range. Under the case that the reactants' concentrations were out of the oscillating range, initially adding iodide into the above system induced another kind of oscillations with much higher frequency and more oscillation cycles in comparison with the original uncatalyzed oscillations in the absence of iodide.
